Sorry!

Things have been a bit harroring of late and did not have a good week. We sad news of my own and then hearing about Heath Ledger just broke my heart even more.

I respected you so much, your work and movies were just the tip of the iceberg for you. My heart goes out to your family, Michelle, Matilda and your close friends. I'll miss your smile and seeing your face. You left too young and I would do anything to bring you back. You've left such an impressionable impact on the hollywood community that so many spoke highly of you. I am really sad to hear you've left but know that Australia couldn't be more proud about you for your accomplishments. You wowed us all. We'll think of you always and know that the same light you have now shines in your daughter. RIP Health you can sleep now. mwah xxx

Been watching his tribute on TV and watched "A Knight's Tale " I saw "The Patriot" last week sometime. He has a beautiful smile that melts your heart but his passing has brought my heart sorrow.

With 2 sad news this week has been a bit much for me so I've backed off a lot of things.

So I am sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while.

As I grieve with my own issues of the week I'll try to get through it and become the bubbly self again in time.

Sorry I've been away and either me not well or my boys not well. Been a vicious cycle there.

Been busy with Bubs & Kisses too.

And I am looking at improving my health too this year and have already started to lose some weight. I want to be able to be more active with the kids and just be able to look better with a new healthy lifestyle. Going through website called Spark people which is great.

Hoping to TTC no.3 sometime this year so I want to be in a healthier frame of mind for that too.

Looking at getting back into some more scrapping as I haven't done much due to being ill.

My Sister in Law Kelly had a baby boy today.

Christmas Crackers

Christmas Joy

The Magic Cave

And these 2 come as a double in the other kit of mine.

The kids are getting excited as Christmas approaches.

So funny last year we went to the Magic Cave and saw Santa there.

Then later we went into another shop and saw Santa again. He beckoned us over but Hayden piped up " We saw you already". I laughed what answer to give. And was interested to here what he was going to say in response to that.

To which he said he has ducked out for a break and came over to this shop to see some other kids, and that he remembers seeing the boys a bit earlier. But the boys just stood and chattered to Santa about toys they liked. They didn't sit on his lap as they had already done this.

But it was just so funny.

Miracle - Song

You're my life's one miracle
Everything I've done that's good
And you break my heart with tenderness
And I confess it's true
I never knew a love like this 'til you
You're the reason I was born Now I finally know for sure
And I'm overwhelmed with happiness
So blessed to hold you close
The one that I love most
Though the future has so much for you in store
Who could ever love you more
The nearest thing to heaven
You're my angel from above
Only God creates such perfect love
When you smile AT me I cry
And to save your life I'd die
With a romance that is pure in heart
You are my dearest part
Whatever it requires I live for your desires
Forget my own, your needs will come before
Who could ever love you more
There is nothing you could ever do
To make me stop loving you
And every breath I take Is always for your sake
You sleep inside my dreams

And know for sure
Who could ever love you more

By Celine Dion

This is such a beautiful song. A lovely CD to play in your baby's nursery, a very calming tone that will send your bubs to sleep. Even for the mum its very relaxing.

Some Hope

It has been a pretty full on couple of weeks even perhaps a few months now. But I see some hope!
Mitch is beginning to become his old self again with improvement of his eating as I'd say he lost a kg or 2 while sick. Hayden had croop as well but is now fine. I hope this is it for a while then I can turn back to myself to get better as I've had to put this aside to be with the boys to get them better first.

And just a little note to 2 special friends of mine. To keep your chin up there is some HOPE coming its just hard to see it sometimes but it will.

SOME HOPE

A seed of Hope I wait for

Through this long journey I've taken

Wondering whether my body can take anymore

Heartache and Loss I feel.

Every month we hope and pray

That this is it for us

I wait and wait and wait for some joyous news to come

But again another month passes

My heart breaks a little more

Each time we try and fail

I keep wondering why God is making it so difficult

Or has he just forgotten me

There is a glimmer in the distance

A speck of light, a seed of Hope

I will keep running till I reach this destination

And believe in myself a bit more

Surely God would not punish me

For wanting just one wish

But now see he has a plan for me through this message to me

That I must believe and trust in him

And Hope will return to me again.

My poem to 2 special friends of mine.

Love you both your friendship I treasure so much.

Then I've seen some of these which is a fab idea if giving towels as a gift for Engagement or Wedding Gifts. For any enquiries about these feel free to contact me or my friend Donna.

Mitch in Hospital Again today.

News:
Well after a long day at the hospital again.
Mitch had another blood test and they left the IV lock on just incase they needed it again saves having to poke him again. They are doing 5 tests pretty much covering everything.
We waited around for over an hour for 2 of the tests to which last time came back at a count of 51 which isn't good and this time came back as a 1 which is good. So these first 2 tests have come back clear.
The 3 we are to wait till Friday to see if they develop coultures. So I am so crossing my fingers that they come back clear.

So I am sorry if I have been a little stressed and worried. That's why I haven't been around very much. But once Mitch is out of the woods and has a green light I will come back at full force again and post more.

Never Rains it Pours!

Well I've just heard from FMC last night that our dear Mitch's blood and urine tests have come back positive for some sort of bug in his blood. Have no idea what yet and we are to go back into the hospital today to do some more tests. Feels a bit scarey to me.
And Hayden has had Croop for the last few days so its been pretty full on at the moment. I have put aside my health issues to make sure my boys get what they need to get better.

So due this I have resigned from my DT position with Meant to Be. I was sad to do that but my family needs me. And I know there are other places out there in the future when things calm down again.

So I am sorry I haven't updated my blog for a while as it is due to my kids being sick for some time.

Funny Stuff

Hayden makes me laugh sometimes.
The other day he told me he was growning up. I asked him how he knew this. Now Hayden with a huge smile replies " Well Mum you see I have hair on my arms and legs now". I smiled at DH and thought you have a long way still to go but will probably be the last time you mention you have hair growning. lol!

But Hayden is just so cute with what he says.
